I love this workout! Those low plane lunges are deceptively killer. I'm waiting to see how much DOMS I have today. Anyhow, I've been avoiding leg presses as I don't want to build my butt up, and not doing these seems to have helped that problem. So any good ideas for exercises to sub that...

Good idea about the pies. I love homemade apple pies, don't think they'd turn out as good as my grandma's though...she made the best! The only problem with making pies is I'd be the only one that eats them. It's only DH and I (no family or friends around). :( He'd probably enjoy a piece or...

Hey vidfan, I was typing my post before I saw your response. Thanks for letting me know you freeze hummus with no problem!

Wow - thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Kathryn - I do have some of those green bags. I just don't use them as often as I should so I forgot about them... For now, I think I'll put the apples in the fridge in those bags. That should keep them fresh until I decide whether to make...

I bought too many apples at Costco and can't eat them all before they go bad. Anyone know any good healthy recipes? Also, anyone know if I can freeze apple slices? I also bought a big tub of hummus. Once you open the container, how long is it good for? And, can you freeze hummus...

I hope you like your brushes! I still haven't placed my order - keep trying to narrow down my wish list a little...but I'm going to finally do it this weekend. The free shipping is a great incentive. It's nice to be able to order samples, figure out what you like, then order larger sizes...

Oops, I guess I should've given more info. If you go here: http://www.lumierecosmetics.com/ click on the What's New link on the left. Starting on the second page, you'll see all the brushes and their sale price. If you click on Pre Buy Specials, you get the details of the pre-buy. If...

I know everyone is psyched about getting Cathe's new workouts (me too!), but I wanted to share some info for anyone interested. Lumiere Cosmetics is having a great deal on their synthetic makeup brushes (pre-buy ends Oct. 31st I think). They are super soft and high quality - wonderful for...

This may sound gross, but it's delicious. Sometimes before I go workout, I put a sweet potato in the oven. By the time I'm done, the sweet potato is done. Then I mix a scoop of unsweetened vanilla protein powder into it, along with some cinnamon and a TB of flax oil (or Udo's oil). It's...

I haven't read this yet, although it's definitely on my to-read list. Anyhow, her new book is titled "Peony in Love" if you're interested... Melissa

FYI, for all those that like Rykas, they are QVC's today's special value. Some nice looking cross-trainers for under $40. Melissa

Thanks for the advice kathryn. I always appreciate your knowledgeable input. Melissa

Thanks for the advice! In a few days when it's time to do GS C&T again, I'm going to do the flys (flyes?) before the presses. So, do you modify the Gym Styles in any other ways? I was thinking of doing a 3-day split with the Gym Styles: Chest and Triceps on day one, Back and Biceps...

In GS Chest & Triceps, does anyone do chest flys before the chest presses? I generally do the workout as is, but another thread I read suggested doing isolation exercises first. So, I'm considering trying the flys first... Any suggestions/opinions? Thanks, Melissa

Wonderful idea!!

Thanks for responding. Any more opinions before I toss them? :(

I need your opinions. I have two opened containers of whey protein powder, one with a "best by" date of 6/06, and the other "best by" date of 10/06. Would you use these or toss them? Thanks, Melissa

Eternal Flame by The Bangles. I'm happy with that one!

>Nordstrom's has them, and I think that many of us do Cathe so >we won't have to wear them. Give me Seven's, Citizens of >Humanity, and Lucky jeans. How do the Seven's compare to Lucky's size-wise? And which style do you wear in each?

Some kind of timesaver would be nice: one for the butts, one for the guts, and maybe one combining butts and guts. Maybe you could have a premix that has all the lower body exercises that don't use weights (the barbell). Ok, I need to stop daydreaming about all these new workouts and get...
